Peritoneal pregnancy is rare and represents approximately 1% of all ectopic pregnancies. We report six cases of peritoneal pregnancies that we encountered in our department. We investigated women diagnosed with peritoneal pregnancies between January 2015 and April 2019. Among the 100 women included in this study, we encountered the following types of ectopic pregnancies: fallopian tube pregnancy (77 cases), peritoneal pregnancy (six cases), interstitial pregnancy (seven cases), ovarian pregnancy (three cases), cervical pregnancy (one case), scar site pregnancy (four cases), and unknown pregnancy site (two cases). All six women with a peritoneal pregnancy underwent laparoscopic surgery with a favorable postoperative course. Ectopic pregnancy is often an emergency operation, and it is quite possible that a peritoneal pregnancy will be found during surgery. Even if it is an emergency operation, knowing how to deal with peritoneal pregnancy will lead to appropriate treatment. We report on the cases we experienced about peritoneal pregnancy.
